1 Corinthians 8
1 Now [I will answer what you asked] about [us believers] eating meat that has been sacrificed to idols. [We know what some of you say, that God has enabled] all of us [to] know [the truth about things such as idols. But often we become] proud because we say that we know [all those things]. But instead of being proud about what we know, we should show that we love [our fellow believers by helping them to] become spiritually mature.
Usuro imumare Sa a wiro makiri: Tirusa uguna, “vat uru tizin nu rusa.” Urusa ukeuē Jezze Uni boroo, U hemu wuza a soo.
2 Those who think that they thoroughly know something do not yet know it as they should.
Inki uye mabasa marusa ire mun, unu ugi nome mamu rusa imumbe sa yawuna urii marusi ba.
3 But as for those who love God, they know that they belong to him.
Inki uyd mazinnu hem inna Asere, masa rusa innu nugeno me.
4 So [I will tell you] about eating meat that people have sacrificed to idols. We know that it is true, [as you say], that idols are not really alive. We also know that there is only one real God.
Usuro abanga imuma re sa a wiroo makiri: Ti rusa u guna, “makiri uneēge me daki iri mum inibi, “ukuru buka” Are Asere azoni senke a inde.”
5 It is true that there are gods whom people think live in the heavens or whom they think live on earth. Truly, there are many beings that [people] call gods, and whom [they] call lords.
Inki aguna aginome sa atisa makiri marāni, nani anyimo Azesere nani u neē. Kasi gusi sa aye warani agussanwe, “makiri sas, sas, uneē nani Azesere.” Kāsi gusi besa “makiri marāni nan ana ti kura” gbardang.
6 But for us [believers] there is only one real God. He is [our heavenly] Father who created everything. He is the one whom we [worship and serve]. Also, for us believers Jesus Christ is the one and only Lord. He is the one whom [God caused] to create everything. It is because of what he [has done for us on the cross] that we have [spiritual] life.
Anime ahira aru, asere a inde ani, a coo uneē vat, usuro u me uni a bara vat timumum barkim e, ti vengize, Ugomo Asere U inde mani, dēsa usurou me uni kodi nyani ya cukuno, hartu me cangi, usuro ume uni tirāni.”
7 Nevertheless, some people do not understand [that idols are not really alive]. In the past, some among you who are believers now were accustomed to believing that idols [were really alive]. As a result, when they eat such meat [now], they still think that it was sacrificed to an idol [that is alive]. They are not sure [that God allows believers to eat meat that has been offered to idols]. So, [when they eat such meat], they think that they have sinned.
A' anime daki kōvima mazin nu rusa ugimo me ba. Ine ini yawuna dāti u tuba, aye wa nanzo makiri, wa kuri ware iginome kasi igebesa, awuza makiri. Iriba iwe ya counome barki uzattu ini kara nutonmo.
8 But God will not think more highly about us [if we eat certain] foods, or if we do not eat [certain foods]. That is, we are not more acceptable to God if we do not eat certain foods, nor are we more acceptable to him if we eat those foods.
Daki imummare ini inyinza unu ukaba uruba, kogussi daki ta tā kin ki ukaba uruba, kogussi daki ta reba ida kassika me ukaba uru ba.
9 However, be sure that you do not do anything that God allows you to do, if by doing that you would encourage any of [your fellow believers to do something that] they are not sure [God allows them to do]. As a result, you would be causing them to sin.
A name wuza seēke kati uturi u wome u cukuno binyo bu pilliko u'uye unu zatu ni kara ni kadure.
10 For example, you know [that idols are not really alive]. Suppose that in a temple [where they worship] idols you eat [food that has been sacrificed to idols]. Suppose that someone who is not sure whether God allows us to eat that food sees you eating it. [You] would be encouraging him to eat it, too. [RHQ]
Ubata uyerine, inki uye unu zatu ini kara nuturi iriba ma irawe hu unu rusa, u zinna re imumāre sa awito ma kiri, dakki wa nyame ni kara narū in guna mari imumare imakiri me ba?
11 As a result, you who know that [idols are not really alive], might cause that fellow believer, one for whom Christ died, (to be ruined [spiritually]/to stop believing [in Christ]).
Barki urusa uwe azesere uzina u makiri, u henu unu zattu mikara nu tonno iriba, dēsa yeso ma wi barki me' a humee.
12 By sinning against your fellow believer by causing him to do something that he thinks God does not allow us to do, [it is as though] you are sinning against Christ himself!
Barki anime, inki wa cara aye anu hanu anu zatu nikara nuturi iriba, wawuza ni hara ni madini aje Ugomo Asere.
13 So if [I, Paul, think that by] eating a certain food I might cause a fellow believer to be ruined spiritually, I will never eat such food again. I do not want to cause any fellow believer (to be ruined spiritually/to stop believing in Christ). [And you should] ([do as I do/imitate my example]). (aiōn g165)
Inki imumure idi wu uhanu ma pilliko, indi venke are irama, barki kati in hungu ko anu henu um urizo. (aiōn g165)
